A Family Affair in Adam Sandler's New Netflix Comedy

In Adam Sandler's latest Netflix comedy, You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, there's a delightful moment where Adam's character, a loving yet slightly awkward father, pretends to spill coffee on his on-screen daughter Stacy. This lighthearted prank is the perfect example of the quirky dad humor we all know and love. What makes this scene even more special is that it was completely improvised, adding an authentic layer of humor. Oh, and by the way, Stacy is played by none other than Adam's real-life 14-year-old daughter, Sunny. Alongside Sunny, her big sister Sadie, 17, and mom Jackie, the entire Sandler clan takes center stage in this heartwarming teen comedy.

Behind the Scenes with Director Sammi Cohen

Director Sammi Cohen had nothing but praise for the Sandler family during filming. "I love that moment," Cohen reminisced about the coffee scene. "There are these beautiful, genuine moments that feel like a slice of life." Cohen's admiration for the family's natural chemistry is evident throughout the film. Fans of Adam's work will recognize his knack for surrounding himself with familiar faces, and this time, his family is no exception. Jackie has appeared in over 30 of Adam's films, while Sunny and Sadie have been involved in more than 20. However, this marks the first time the entire family is front and center, with Sunny leading the charge as a tween navigating the drama-filled world of friendships while planning her dream bat mitzvah.

Adam's Pride in His Daughters

It's clear that Adam is incredibly proud of his daughters' talents. According to an insider, Adam has jokingly remarked that Sunny and Sadie are now the big stars of the family, stealing the spotlight from him. If you're wondering just how much effort Adam put into their real-life bat mitzvahs, let me tell you, he didn't hold back. For Sadie and Sunny's special nights, Adam arranged performances by some of the biggest names in music, including Adam Levine, Charlie Puth, and Halsey. Talk about going all out!
